Men: Are You Suffering From Menstrual Cramps?

[K8-EEE]

This is really an ad I saw in Variety!
=====================================
Do you have monthly cramping and pain in the lower abdomen and upper groin?

You may have MALE CYCLICAL NON-UTERINE DYSMENORRHEA OR "MALE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS!"

Then it sez you can be in this study and get more info at MenWithCramps.com!

I just thought that was kinda interesting.

1. If that isn't the most fucking ridiculous thing I've ever seen,

3. Did You Go To The "MenWithCramps" Website?

It has a picture of a guy in his pajamas clutching his tummy -- then a disclaimer saying something like "it is not unmasculine to suffer from male menstrual cramps!"

LOL! My daughter is going to suggest this as a band name to one of her friends who is starting up a new band....Men With Cramps!

4. This female equality thing is going too far! Quick - cut women's pay

and send them back home so the cramps stop!


:D

Just kidding around, all and sundry! :)

5. i'm sorry

but your post made me think of this line from "raising arizona"!

"So, why do you use the word 'trapped'?"--Prison Counselor
"Huh?"--Prisoner (Ruben Young)
"Why do you say you feel 'trapped' in a man's body?"--Prison Counselor
"Well, sometimes I get the menstrual cramps real hard."--Prisoner

6. All men suffer from PMS

As we will never be menstruating, we are therefore pre-menstrual.

Get used to it, ladies.

8. Truly....

If you've ever worked for some cranky exec type guy, you would swear they are always PMS and every teeny tiny thing bugs them.

9. I Get Semen Retention Headaches Instead

Dr. Bill Frist diagnosed me from a videotape, so it must be true.

10. Rep. Foley NEVER Got Those!

He has some suggestions on how to help the kids avoid them too...always trying to help the children, what a guy!

11. Are you recommending I take a page from his book?

[K8-EEE]

12. His motto: Leave no page unturned

YIKES!

13. Funny site - looks like someone went to a bit of trouble with that one!

I like the "History of the Institute":

A Humble Beginning
In 1791, Arthur MacInnes and Samuel P. Porritt were two debtors who found in each other a mutual dream: to create an institute dedicated to helping debtors overcome the great obstacle of compounding debt and to help these men land on their feet. Soon, their fledgling institute became profitable, and MacInnes and Porritt were able to realize their dream by becoming the first debtors helped by their institute. Tragedy struck the partnership as Samuel Porritt was stricken with a rare disease known then only as The Wet Brown Plague, or "BBSH". Porritt spent much of his last years under medical care.

And their star researcher:

"...Fardel's field research seeking alternative methods to the Heimlich Maneuver is now complete ..."
